The Final Front Cover

The title stands out as it is large and in an easy font and colour to read. The words in capital letters and in large font are used for emphasis. It shows what is featured in the magazine. All the writing is easy to read and understand. There is an enlarged picture of the grade slip that the student is holding in the middle to the right of the magazine-showing good grades would possibly make potential readers want to buy it and read more. Mid close-up of the student holding up their exam results with a shocked face. People could interpret this in many ways. This could mean they did exceptionally well and didn't think that they would get these results or they could have done really badly and failed everything etc. The background will be the background of the image that i will be taking and using, which will be the grange. The layout is simple and not cluttered in order to make it easy to read. I have also used the school logo as it is something to represent the school. I did not use an actual image as everytime I wanted to take images the person was either unavailable or it was raining. The writing looks a bit too cartoon-like which is good for a school magazine. It does not look like there is much going on.

  1. Well done, you've talked about your choices in some detail and given some reasons for them, but you could go further; why, for instance have you chosen this easy to read font and not another? What is it you like about the simple straight edges and right angles compared to others?
